UFC Auckland adds three fights, including Tyson Pedro vs. Vinicius Moreira

With the main event of Paul Felder vs. Dan Hooker booked, the rest of the UFC Auckland card is starting to take shape.

According to The New Zealand Herald, the UFC has confirmed three more fights: Tyson Pedro vs. Vinicius Moreira, Marcos Rogerio de Lima vs. Ben Sosoli, and Jake Matthews vs. Emil Meek.

Pedro (7-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) will return to the octagon for the first time since December 2018. He’s missed all of 2019 while recovering from knee surgery. Pedro will look to snap a two-fight losing streak. In his last fight at UFC Fight Night 142, Pedro lost to Mauricio Rua via third-round TKO.

Moreira (9-4 MMA, 0-3 UFC) will enter on a three-fight losing streak. He most recently was submitted by Paul Craig via rear-naked choke in September at UFC on ESPN+ 17.

Sosoli (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will return to the octagon for the second time after his fight with Greg Hardy last month at UFC on ESPN 6 was declared a no contest because of Hardy using an inhaler in between rounds. His opponent, de Lima (16-6-1 MMA, 5-4 UFC), has alternated wins and losses in his last seven bouts.

With the additions, the latest UFC Auckland card includes:

Paul Felder vs. Dan Hooker
Vinicius Moreira vs. Tyson Pedro
Marcos Rogerio de Lima vs. Ben Sosoli
Jake Matthews vs. Emil Meek
Magomed Mustafaev vs. Brad Riddell
